In China You Can Buy An Apartment For $2,500 (Is The West Broken?)

While the West faces a soul-crushing housing crisis, a "Lying Flat" movement is taking over China’s cheapest city. In Hegang, you can literally buy a modern, renovated apartment for almost the same price of a high-end iPhone. But what is the catch?

In this video, we explore the $2,500 apartments of Hegang, China, and ask the difficult question: Is the Western housing market fundamentally broken? We’ll look at the cost of living, the "Lying Flat" (Tang Ping) culture, and why thousands of young people are ditching the 996 grind for a life that costs only $40 a month.

From the "Ghost Cities" to the "Lying Flat Capital," this is the brutal truth about global housing.
